  • World of Warcraft: What to Do While Waiting for Instances

    Queue times in the World of Warcraft are extremely painful. I know in the past I would just run around in a circle in Dalaran for a queue to pop. Since I no longer play on a PVP server, I’ve found other activities that are far more productive. First, most people will say that while…

  • Arcane Mage Love

    Right now, I noticed that the players remaining in the World of Warcraft are not so good. Lots of fails with LFR. I suspect that it’s all related to Diablo 3’s release. As a result, I decided to focus on my mage as she’s one of the few remaining non-85’s I have left on Saurfang.…

  • What is Yahoo: A Whore

    The revolving door executive soap opera at Yahoo continues with their latest CEO already out for essentially fabricating his CS degree. Why no one at Yahoo (nor ebay/PayPal for that matter) didn’t do thorough due diligence is a mystery. Still, what’s left at Yahoo is quite sad as the one mighty tighten is nothing more…

  • America Must Be Rebuilt From Scratch

    I talked with my mom’s current social worker at the rehabilitation center earlier today. At the end of the conversation, she acquiesced that the whole social security, Medicare, Medi-Cal thing is far too bureaucratic, complex and frustrating. Then you look at all the convoluted things you have to do just to qualify for something that…

  • World of Warcraft LFR Improvements

    Wowcrendor has a great video on LFR summed up. He only spends 30 (or so) seconds on the topic (which is a parody) but he’s managed to capture part of the essence (or rather frustrations) of LFR. While I do think LFR has been a positive boost to World of Warcraft, it still stinks of…

  • If World of Warcraft Was the Titanic

    and I was on the only life raft (with a power motor) and saw the entire WoW community floating in the stream screaming to be saved, I would take out a big book and start reading it while powering my boat in the opposite direction. That’s how I view the WoW community at large. I…

  • World of Warcraft and Eliminating the Kick

    I think the LFG and LFR options for kicking people should be eliminated or much more moderated. I got kicked from a group obviously for probably not pulling the DPS despite the fact that I was simply trying to get VP and gear. The only thing I did was receive a Maelstrom Crystal when I…

  • Lost Interest in WoW Today

    I was pretty pumped in getting back into World of Warcraft since last week’s project had finished. However, for whatever reason, something just clicked with me tonight and I felt really bored with it. I had been reading various forum posts and youtube videos that weren’t the most positive. Not sure if that killed my…

  • The Person Possibly Responsible for World of Warcraft’s Subscription Loss Has Been Identified

    Blizzard posted a “post mortem” on the dungeon and raid encounters for Cataclysm. Outside of the confused, constant redesign of the talent tree and character classes by Ghostcrawler (who, imo, is also partly to blame for various problems in Cataclysm), Scott “Daelo” Mercer might be considered one of the people responsible for World of Warcraft’s…

  • 600 Let Go Over at Blizzard

    My friend pointed out how 600 employees were let go by Blizzard. Most were not developers but sections that were over staffed. Without question, part of the decision most likely was due to the massive subscription loss in the past year (around 1.8 million). While the finger pointing has occurred, you cannot deny that at…
